Front Bumper and Signal Lenses Before and After Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's the "Before" and the result of 15 minutes of rubbing on a "found halfway under ground at a friend's" front bumper. I'm using amber bulbs behind clear parking/turn signal lenses coated with one light coat of Night Shade spray.

Kinda a design deal for, first, the black primer rat. Then, later, I think it will work with the "Black Cherry" when the bank account allows body work and paint.

Much more polishing/straightening on the bumper before it goes on. But a good pastime during the rainy season.

What the hell? I needed lenses, anyway. And the Night Shade was about seven bucks.
